Latest Wine Releases & Awards

Dutcher Crossing wines are meticulously handcrafted. From the selection of special blocks of choice grapes within a vineyard to our small open-top fermenting tanks, our wines receive the hands-on attention required to produce wines of the exceptional quality that exhibit the intense flavors and character of each varietal. All our wines are then aged in American, French or European oak barrels until they are ready for bottling.

Our wines have earned the highest ratings in the most prestigious competitions, including most recently:
